Corporate Social Responsibility
At Speexx we are aware of CSR and we are giving back in many ways – by supporting the causes the Speexx family cares about, by donating digital language training to nonprofit projects, and by donating money to charities. We support the UN Global Compact and continue to work on our status as a sustainable enterprise.
Ecovadis Sustainability Rating
Speexx is proud to have achieved the Silver Medal in the annual EcoVadis assessment of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Diversity as an Opportunity: The Diversity Charter
At Speexx, we know that collectively as a society we can only be truly successful if we embrace, acknowledge, and promote diversity — both within our organization and the world at large.
Speexx is a proud signatory of The Charta der Vielfalt (Diversity Charter) in the world of work. We commit to cultivating an organization that is characterized by mutual respect and appreciation, and that recognizes the intrinsic potential of diversity all around us.
United Nations Global Compact
We are proud to participate in the UN Global Compact – a policy initiative for businesses who are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. Speexx proudly supports the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact.
Humentum and LINGOs
Since early 2015, Speexx has partnered with Humentum and LINGOs, a learning consortium of 80+ international development, aid and conservation organizations. Since the beginning of the partnership with LINGOs, over 1300 NGO staff in over 100 countries have enrolled in French, Spanish, and English courses at all levels (A1 – C1.2).
LINGOs is a not-for-profit capacity building organization in its tenth year of providing world-class learning opportunities that are appropriate, accessible and affordable for people working to reduce poverty and alleviate suffering in the developing world.
LINGOs merged with two other leading providers of learning and capacity development within their sector. Together, they created a new global organization called Humentum. Learn more
Giving Back
Each year, we donate 1 million Euros’ worth of educational products to a variety of projects around the world. By doing what we do best – providing learning and continuing education opportunities – we are committed to being a reliable partner in the building of a better future in particularly disadvantaged regions of the world.
Our mission is a reflection of our organization’s fast-paced development over the past decade and we continue to work on it in thorough discussions with our clients and employees.
